Week 9 is finally finished and she's really hitting her stride in flower. Did encounter a minor Magnesium deficiency this week, but it's under control now. Other than that, her pistils are starting to turn amber, bud sites are fattening and trichomes are beginning to cloud up. I'm estimating that she's got a few more weeks, including the flush. I'm getting really excited for this girl to finish up! We're in the home stretch!!
I would ease back on the defoliation. I currently am running 16 plants of this strain I have noticed all the plants that have had defoliation have smaller buds and are less developed. Other than that the ak-49 strain is hardy as hell.
@TheMayor4434, thanks for the knowledge sir! I know that seems to be such a divided opinion when it comes to autos, but I thought what the heck. I didn't defoliate on my first run with my Gelato autos. So, I defoliated once in week 5 and again in week 6. I'm going to take your advice, and just let her go from here on out! Much appreciated! 👍
